U.S. Pat. No. 8,230,852, discloses is a shoulder mounted hood cooling device, The device includes a support blower carried by a supported and vents in which the fluid communicate with the blower. This device is for arc flash protection, (arc flash is an electrical explosion) The shoulder mounted hood cooling device is not intended for the ordinary individuals to use, it is designed and intended for train profession who works with the possibility of an arc flashes accident happening.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,327 disclose the evaporative personal cooler, the device includes at least one heat dispatching member that is urged against the user's body to absorb heat, the device has an liquid-wickable surface a liquid-retainable material disposed to contract at least one region of said heat dispatching member. this device allows the user body to heat up, before it become use for, meaning the user's have to become hot, an order for the evaporative personal cooling device, to evaporate the user's heated body, anyone who suffering from hot flashes due to menopause, do not wish to be hot at all, because their body has become very sensitive to heat, so this device would not be ideal for anyone who suffers from hot flashes due to menopause.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
